I can't wait to know if we want our brain to think in English. What's the first step? Easy. You need to feed it first. Feed it? Like breakfast? Yup. English doesn't magically appear in your brain overnight. Your brain needs food, and that food is input. Input through your ears and your eyes. Listening and watching. Right. And here's the key point. The input must be easy and suitable. Yes, many learners make the same mistake. They jump straight into very hard content and think, it's okay, I'll get used to it. But instead of getting used to it, their brain just gives up and says, nope, too much, I'm out.
